Also, the grading system is different for most every state. An 84 is a C here.
Jesus, that's just about an A here.

I don't see the point of such a lenient grade scale. It would suffer dramatically from the ceiling effect, with differentiation of knowledge and ability impossible.

Here most of the class averages center around 60-70 with final marks 50-60 so everyone would be in the D range with that scale. 90% is usually the top 5% in the class.

Anyway, I got like 3 As and 2 Bs on my finals, but that was almost 2 months ago. I won't state the %'s since my grade scale isn't inflated like some of them here >_> But I did get 100% on the physics final.
